Need help with wine spelling - Gocha?

[Grateful]

OK, I'm trying to find the spelling for a red wine that sounds like "Gocha" (or Gosha).

Does anyone know the correct spelling?

Thanks.

[Drew]

Need a little more info. Are you looking to identify a red grape with that name or the name of a wine, also any idea which area of the world this wine might come from?

Drew

[Auburnwine]

The Serra Gaucha wine region of Brazil?

[winoweenie]

Grenache, maybe?ww

[quijote]

Goshen from Israel?

[Grateful]

I help a karaoke company with their song lyrics - this word from a new Jay-Z song called "Beautiful".

It's mentioned twice in the song, and the first time he mentions it is this:

"... some red wine, a little gocha? [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/confused.gif[/img] '97"

That's how someone transcribed it. It sounds like gosha, gaucha, or perhaps goshen - but I can't really find those specifically as wine brands. It should be relatively new (since he says '97), and probably expensive.

Jay-Z is famous for promoting products/brands in his songs, the companies pay him to do it... but this one I can't figure out.

Well here are the lyrics to Jay-Z's song "Excuse Me Miss". Makes no sense to me re. wine, maybe some of our rappers will chime in. WW, you speak a similar language. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

JAY-Z LYRICS

"Excuse Me Miss"
(feat. Pharrell Williams (Neptunes))

[Intro: Jay-Z]
You can't roll a blunt to this one
You gotta, you gotta well, ya gotta light a J
You gotta puff a J on this one {*inhales*}
You can't even drink Crist-OWL on this one
You gotta drink Crist-ALL
Buy some red wine, a little Gocha 9-7
This is for the grown and sexy, uhh

[Pharrell - over the end of Jay-Z's intro]
You're so contagious, I can't take it
Have my baby, let's just make it
Ex-cuse me; what's your name?

[Jay-Z]
Yeah, can I get my grown man on for one second?
Cause I see some ladies tonight that should be hangin wit Jay-Z, Jay-Z
(Pharrell: So hot to trot.. la-dy!)
Excuse me miss, what's your name?
Can you come, hang with me?
Possibly, can I take you out, to-night

[Verse One]
You already know what it's hittin for
Ma I got whatever outside and you know what I'm sittin on
50/50 venture with them S dots kickin off
Armadale poppin now, only bring a nigga more
Only thing missin is a Missus
You ain't even gotta do the dishes, got two dishwashers
Got one chef, one maid, all I need is a partner
to play spades with the cards up, ALL TRUST
Who else you gon' run with, the truth is us
Only dudes movin units - Em, Pimp Juice and us
.. it's the Roc in here!
Maebach outside got (?) air
PJ's on the runway, Young got air
I don't land at a airport, I call it the clearport
Therefore, I don't wanna hear more
back and forth about who's hot as Young, holla!

[Ph.W.] Sex-cuse me... damn!
[Ph.W.] You're so contagious, I can't take it
[Ph.W.] Have my baby, let's just make it
[Jay-Z] I got my Gocha 9-7 on right now
[Ph.W.] La-dy..
[Jay-Z] You gotta puff a J to this one
[Jay-Z] Can't roll a blunt up to this one boy
[Ph.W.] You're so contagious, I can't take it
[Ph.W.] Have my baby, let's just make it
[Ph.W.] Ex-cuse me; what's your name? (AOWW!)
[Jay-Z] Cause I see some ladies tonight
that should be rollin wit Jay-Z, Jay-Z
[Ph.W.] So hot to trot.. la-dy! What's your name?
[Jay-Z] Cause I see some ladies tonight
that should be rollin wit Jay-Z, Jay-Z
[Ph.W.] You're so foxy girl.. you're so hot to trot..

[Verse Two]
Everybody's like, "He's no item! Please don't like him.
He don't wife 'em, he one nights 'em!"
Now she don't like him, she never met him
Groupies try to take advantage of him, he won't let 'em
He don't need 'em, so he treats 'em like he treats 'em
Better them than me, she don't agree with him
She's mad at that, he's not havin that
So those opposites attract like mag-a-nets
She sees more than the Benz wagon, the friends taggin along
with a flashy nigga braggin on the song
She gets a glimpse of Shawn and she likes that
He 2-ways her, so she writes back
Smiley faces after all of her phrases
Either she the one or I'm caught in "The Matrix"
But fukkit, let the +Fish-burne+
Red or green pill, you live and you learn, c'mon!

[Ph.W.] Sex-cuse me... damn!
[Jay-Z] You gotta throw on your fine linens for this one
[Ph.W.] You're so contagious, I can't take it
[Ph.W.] Have my baby, let's just make it
[Jay-Z] You might go, you mighta gotta go get you some Scooby Doo's
[Ph.W.] La-dy..
[Jay-Z] Gotta throw on ya Scooby Doo's; those are shoes by the way
[Ph.W.] You're so contagious, I can't take it
[Jay-Z] Gotta throw on Scooby Doo's, hehehehe
[Ph.W.] Have my baby, let's just make it
[Ph.W.] Ex-cuse me; what's your name?
[Jay-Z] This for the grown and sexy, only for the grown and sexy
[Ph.W.] So hot to trot.. la-dy! What's your name?
[Jay-Z] Woo!
[Ph.W.] You're so foxy girl.. you're so hot to trot..

[Verse Three]
Love let's go half on a son, I know my past ain't one
you can easily get past, but that chapter is done
... but I'm done readin for now
Remember spades face up, you can believe him for now
But ma you got a f'real f'serious role
I'm bout to give you all the keys and security codes
Bout to show you where the cheese, let you know I ain't playin
But, before I jump out the window, what's your name?

[Ph.W.] Sex-cuse me... damn!
[Ph.W.] You're so contagious, I can't take it
[Ph.W.] Have my baby, let's just make it
[Ph.W.] La-dy..
[Ph.W.] You're so contagious, I can't take it
[Ph.W.] Have my baby, let's just make it
[Ph.W.] Ex-cuse me; what's your name?
[Ph.W.] So hot to trot.. la-dy! What's your name?
[Ph.W.] You're so foxy girl.. you're so hot to trot..

[Georgie]

Oh my Lord....and I wasn't allowed to listen to The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction"? (Yes, I'm that old..) Can't believe you typed all that, Drew. I need a drink after reading those lyrics, if that's what you'd call them...yikes!

[winoweenie]

Brings a tear to ones eyes, it's so poetic. ww

[Drew]

Typed it from memory [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]....well actually, cut and paste is a beautiful thang.

Drew

[Thomas]

...it is a good thang, 'cause if you gotta memory with that stuff init, you's a real wierd-like one...

[Auburnwine]

I believe that it was Shakespeare (or John Donne) who first suggested the image: "You're so contagious, I can't take it."

I know that Shelley used it in one of his later poems, but just can't remember the original source.

And in Burton's original translation of the Rubyyat, he actually stated: "A loaf of bread, a jug of Pimp Juice, and you."

[Georgie]

That made me laugh out loud, Auburnwine! I must say, however, that it is disheartening for me, as a teacher, to think that the above is the end product of years of reading, writing, and spelling lessons. I'm sure Jay-Z's teachers are just shaking their heads. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/frown.gif[/img]

There are many interesting, thoughtful, talented rappers out there. Jay-Z is not one of them.
